Zhang, Xu and Benedikt Szmrecsanyi 2024 Variation-Based Distance and Similarity Modeling: A new way of measuring distances between registers Register Studies 6:1, pp. 31–59 | Article

We present a corpus-based method — Variation-Based Distance and Similarity Modeling (VADIS) — that calculates distances between registers as a function of the extent to which the probabilistic conditioning of variation differs across registers. When language users have a choice between different… read more
